#11 of 2253 liberty problems ?? by winbro Jul 08, 2001 (6:01 am)
I hope this particular subject area stays for problems only. If I love my liberty when I get it, I will post messages on the regular liberty area. I also hope this remains for ligitimate safety, design or mechanical problems as well, not for petty gripes about control layouts, storage space, rear legroom etc.   as far as other problem rooms, just check out the escape/tribute problems; santa fe; explorer...you get the picture.
#12 of 2253 I agree by rsholland Jul 08, 2001 (7:35 am)
With that thought in mind, post #10 should really be in the "Liberty" area, not here.   Bob
#14 of 2253 Give it a chance for once in a life time by thesaint2 Jul 10, 2001 (9:01 pm)
This is the problem in this society where we live. We like, we love the negative, the ugly and everything that is wrong even if there is nothing wrong..ohh yeah we find some for you. The Liberty is a new, New Jeep and you guys are already talking and wanting to hear about "problem." it is just because it is a Jeep. Because I just saw the Toyota site and there was no "Any Mechanical Problems yet" for its two newest SUV. It is just because it is a Jeep. The good thing about this is that the Liberty is proving you wrong. And for the one who post the problem with noise when open rear window. Have you ever been in a car and open the window and not hear/feel the noise of the air dynamy.....of course you will feel the same in the Liberty...It is an SUV, not a UFO....Got it. Although this whatever you call this thing may help those looking for advise in buying the New Liberty....let not fucus on the problem but on the like of the Liberty for now because in the end...of course you will have problem no matter what SUV you end with.....just enjoy the ride. For those talking about the Suburu...Please go there and do that....This is only for the Liberty which is a hell of an SUV!!!!A Jeep.

It does not make any sense changing the title of this to liberty problems when there is not one message here that talks about any problems. So I really don't see how it would be more appropriate at this point. The liberty could be a great vehicle with few problems which up to this point looks very possible.
#16 of 2253 Hi thesaint2 by steve_ HOST Jul 11, 2001 (6:49 am)
lol, Toyota owners don't have problems, they have maintenance.   As a prior owner of both a CJ-5 and a Tercel, I didn't find much difference between the two terms:-) Steve Host Vans, SUVs and Aftermarket & Accessories Message Boards
#17 of 2253 Is the cup 1/2 full, or 1/2 empty? by rsholland Jul 11, 2001 (6:56 am)
the saint2 Thank you. That's what I was trying to say earlier. The vehicle has been on sale about a month, and already we have topic dedicated to "problems." Give the vehicle a chance before assuming it will be trouble prone. If it indeed proves troublesome, then fine, complain away...   Bob
#18 of 2253 Just finished testing a Liberty by wileycat Jul 11, 2001 (11:01 am)
I had the vehicle for about a week, and was *very* impressed by it. The drive train was smooth (save for an occasional whine under hard acceleration) although I wish the engineers at Jeep would do something about the Liberty's (as well as the Grand Cherokee's) tendency to lurch when put into gear. The interior was amazing -- it wasn't hard to detect the fine hand of Freeman Thomas (father of the Audio TT) at work.   I had a couple of concerns, though: Leather coming loose from the steering wheel, loose upholstery on the inside door handles, and a few other things made my tester seem as if it were a pre-production model. I'd have been concerned if this were my vehicle and it only had 4500 miles on the do.   Anyone else out there noticed interior-figment quality issues?
#19 of 2253 That's it exactly, Bob by vin_weasel Jul 11, 2001 (11:30 am)
Have there been any real problems yet? It's like there is this big assumption that the Liberty is going to start falling apart at any minute. I say, wait 6 months to a year and you'll have a much better idea as to the quality.   Steve: Ha. One man's maintenance is another man's problem. My '87 Fox needed (infrequent) maintenance but my Passat had (frequent) Problems. So far, my Jeep has neither.   BTW, I finally saw a burgundy liberty sitting all by itself on a lot here in Canada. About time.
#20 of 2253 paint problems by armo1 Jul 12, 2001 (5:33 am)
Last week I picked up my black Liberty Sport. I noticed a circular patch of very fine scratches on the hood which gave a dull appearance to the finish. I took it back to the dealer. The service manager polished the area and it looked fine for a few hours but the next day the scratches and dullness were apparent again. I went back a few days later and they buffed it again and actually ended up expanding the area of scratches and dullness. Is this normal with black cars? Will the rest of the body eventually be covered by these fine scratches and turn this dull color? Or, is there a trip to the body shop in the near future?
